Yo I'm trash for Freak Show AUs so yeah

That and I'm Dark Woods Circus trash so like... yeah

14 year old Jeremy Heere had been missing for almost two years now. Nobody knows where he could have gone.

All they know is the last place he was seen was at a rather...disturbing traveling festival with his best and only friend, Michael Mell.

The two had ventured the entries place, their favorite place being the "Freak Show" because they understood the pain those poor creatures went through, being teased constantly every single day.

They'd gotten lost in a crowd and separated. Michael left without find Jeremy because his mothers didn't want him out too late, that and they came to pick him up.

So when Mr. Heere didn't ever get Jeremy back home, he knew something was up. So he went back to the festival...but it had all but been there. All that was left was an empty lot.

Search parties went out looking for Jeremy but none found him. Everybody assumed he was dead except for Michael. He had hope his friend was still alive.

(Present time)

Michael was skipping through channels when a familiar tune caught his ears. He flipped back a channel and seen an add for a traveling festival that was in Middleborough.

It was the same festival he and Jeremy had been at two years prior...maybe he could find some answers.

"Mama, Ma, I'm goin out okay!?" Michael yelled and he got yells of approval back from his parents, smiling victoriously as he left.

The festival was still as disturbing as it had been, the creepy plushes to be won at the games, the creepy smiles on everybody who worked there, and the freak show.

Michael made his way to the familiar tent and found a poster on the ground next to it. He picked it up and read over it.

"They got a new one? Oh well this should be interesting." He mumbled as he put the paper in his pocket and went inside the tent.

He recognized most of the "freaks" from the two years prior. Then there was the last cage. He'd never seen that one before.

Inside was a tall, ghost white figure, with matted brown hair and a ripped up striped shirt. It had long fingers, black at the very tips, and he was wearing no shoes, but socks. He was also wearing pants which were ripped near the bottom.

"Hello? I've never seen you before..." Michael gently touched the bar of the cage and the creature jumped. "Sorry." He muttered and it gently turned around, not showing it's face.

It crawled towards the bars and gently looked up, but all Michael could see was a glowing green light from under it's hair, tear stains, and some assumed freckles that made their way across it's face.

It gently grabbed Michael's hand and held it in its own before beginning to softly speak.

"Mi...Mi....chael..." It spoke his name and Michael stared in fear.

"How do you...know my name?" Michael asked and the creature used one of its hands to move its long hair out of its face.

"Mi...chael...It's...Jere...my..." Michael froze at the name being spoken.

"What about Jeremy? Where is he?"

"I'm...Jere...my..." It mumbled and Michael stared into the green eyes intently. They stared back and Michael realized it was Jeremy...

"Jere...What...What happened to you?" Michael asked, eyes in tears as he whispered gently.

"Kid...napped...trans...formed into...this...by the...ring master..." Jeremy spoke quietly, and he spoke slower than before.

"The dude with long hair?"

"Yeah...Please save...save me....I don't wanna...wanna be here." Jeremy began crying.

"I dunno how to save you Jeremy..." Michael admitted sadly.

"Night...To..night...hair pin...lock...escape..."

"You want me to...sneak in...tonight...and...break you out?"

"Please..." Jeremy's voice grew quiet and Michael nodded.

"I have to go Jeremy but I'll be back okay. When does the show leave?"

"To...Tomorrow night."

"Okay. I'll get you out. I promise." Michael waved goodbye to Jeremy and left. Jeremy sadly watched before turning back towards the inside of his tent.

He'd always enjoyed the freaks. Because he could relate to them. Then he became one of them.

I don't know if I'ma finish this but yeah here's all I got so far.
